MOLLYCODDLES . . pood word I
It was President Tlieodoi'e Roose- I
yelt who gave popularity to the
good old Englkh word "Molly-1
coddle." By that lie meant some-I
pne who had everything done for I
him and was incapable or afraid of I
doing or ti.ving: to do anything for
himself. I (hink; looking back I
over the preceding paragraphs, that I
I have been taking a leaf out of
Col. Roosevelt's book. I
enrintl
There isn't anj ? ?.?
them, but it seems to me that mol- I
jVf0ddles are a great deal more I
nunierous now than they used to |
H be when Col. Roosevelt and I were I
b0[(l young. I wonder, sometimes, I
I whether the boy of today gets the!
?jiallCe to be- anything else. Keep- 1
ujg boys in scnool until they are I
sixteen. toibiciumg them to work ill
I uiey a'e unuer eighteen, seem tol
me to oe excellent ways of rearing I
jiiottyeociuK'S. it a hoy hasn't I
learned to nght ins own battles I
against the world before he is I
eighteen, tie hasn't much chance tol
I DEFEATISM . . since the war!
i am sometimes aghast as 1 listen I
10 young lolk talking about there I
being no opportunities left. There I
seems to liave grown up since thel
war a school ol thought wliich 11
can only characterize as "defeat-1
isin, a belief that the last frontier I
has been conquered and there is no I
more chance tor enterprising youth I
to satisfy the spirit of adventure I
and tite urge to rise by his own ef-1
torts.
I Unfortunately that feeling has
been encouraged by those in high
place who ought to know better. I
cannot help feeling that President
Roosevelt did not stop to think his
subject through before he promulgated
the notion that this country
had become so completely settled
and explored that there is nothing
ahead ior the young except to find
a good safe hole and crawl into it.
And that the Government must
help them find the holes.
SECURITY . . . there is none
There is no such thing as security,
of property, of income, or anything
else, for that matter. How
can there be, when there is no security
of life itself?
One of the present-day tendencies
that makes me wonder whether
there are not a lot of wrong ideas
in circulation is the idea that so
many youngsters have that they
are entitled to security, to a job as
soon as they graduate from high
school or college, to a safe place in
which to earn big money for a little
work.
I think that idea, that everbody
is entitled to security, has been fostered
by the distribution of enormous
sums of public money to persnns
whn hnvo rpnrlered no return
|)r it and who, in many instances,
ould have got by, somehow, with ut
it. It may take us a long time
o get back to the realization that
mearned security is the brand of
he pauper.
1DVEXTURE . . . means risk
The only life worth living is the
adventurous life. I do not mean by
that that everyone should be an explorer
or run into needless risks,
'ut I do mean that the most deluding
and softening influence
ipon human character is refysal or
tor to take chances. Show me a
ton who never risked his fortune
>r his life, whether for an ideal or
'w gain, and I will show you a man
*ho is to be despised rather than
envied, no matter how wealthy he
toy be in worldly goods. His spirit
15 a poor, wishy-washy thing.
Friedrich Nietzsche, the great
German philosopher, hailed what
he called the ''dangerous life," as
the only way for a man to save his
soul- President Theodore Roosevelt
expressed the same idea when he
?Pohe of the "strenuous life." Both
toant that one can only live life
to the fullest if he does with all his
?t?ht whatever it is he wishes to
dt)' without thinking about money
Or TVKoiklr, i ir
r-?.urc tuiisequences to nimseu.
I There is nothing to life but living
lit- Nobody can win the game with
death. The thing to do, it seems
me, is to play the game for the
sake of the game, and not with the
U^Bfalse idea of winning.
SCOUTS .... into the wilds
There is one line of adventure, it :
appears, into which boys of today
are eager to get. That is plant
hunting for the Department of
jj^H Agriculture. There is real and sat- :
IHisfying adventure in going to the 1
*ilds of the earth and finding new
varieties of plants which can be in- 1
Htroduced into this country. I know
one of the best of the Federal plant >
hunters, David Fairchild, son-in-law
Professor Bell, who invented the :
(^ telephone. A man of independent 1
m?ans, he has devoted his life to
enriching his country by bringing
lack many valuable food plants
*hich he found in odd corners of
Jj^H e world. I have always thought

Farm Questions
And Answers
Question: How can flea beetles
and other Irish potato insect pests
be controlled? I
Answer: Effectual control of all
potato pests may be secured by
spraying with a poisonad Bordeaux
mixture at frequent intervals during
the growing season. Set) your farm
agent for directions as: to how to
make this mixture. If the potato
field is not conveniently located
near a water supply, a Commercially
prepared poisoned Bcxrdeaux can
be bought and used as a ?dust. About
ten pounds of this dust should be
used to the acre for eaCh dusting
when vines are full grovyn.
Question: What causes some hens
to eat egtgs and can the habit be
cured?
Answer The habit is formCd when
nests are not provided with sufficient
litter. The eggs lay on the
floor or in bare nests ;and the hens
eat them especially if the shell is
soft. To prevent soft shells, keep
oyster shell and grit before the
birds at all times. Place plenty of
* s
clean litter in tne nesis anu UiU awi*
them somewhat by "hanging a bag
ovei- all but one cor ner. As an added
precaution make collections
more often. With the proper feed
and plenty of nest litter, the hens
will stop this bad habit. I

In Memoriam
RICHARD T. FERKINSON JR.
Richard Terrell Perkinson, who
met a tragic death at Raleigh on
Monday, April 9th, was born in
Laconia, New Hampshire, September
23rd, 1908, the son of Richard
T. and Charlotte Story Perkinson.
He attended the public school at
Wise and the Cary High School. He
became a member of the Wise Baptist
church in his early teens.
He served for nearly three years
as member of Company B, N. C.
National Guard. Leaving Warren
County in 1929 for Baltimore he
worked for two years for the National
Casket Company coming to
Raleigh from there.
Always more fond of the country
and the farm than the city ha
found employment at a dairy farm
a few miles out of Raleigh where
he learned much about modern
dairy methods.
Richard was of a generous,
friendly disposition, ready to do a
kindness for any one with whom
he came in contact. It was inconceivable
to him that any one should
wish to do him harm, much less to
take his life.
Prayers were said at the home
of his parents, Arlington Street,

I rest my weary soul in Thee I
I give Thee back the life I owe
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
I May richer, fuller be. j

II trace the rainbow thro' the rain.
I And feel the promise is not vain?

I VAN KEARYNY DAVIS
I The earthly life of Van Kearny
I Davis, son of John Boyd Davis
land Bennie Williams Davis, ended
I early In the morning of January
25, 1934. His death was not a surprise,
as he'd been ill for more than
ja year. Loving hands and human
I skill failed to arrest his trouble, so
J God in His mercy touched him
land he slept, releasing the soul
I from the pain tortured body and
I taking it to the land where there
lis no pain. He had surrendered his
I soul to God and had no fear of
I death.
j When the aged pass into the belyond
we say, '"Tis better so; earth
I has no charms for thee, enter into
I thy heavenly rest." But to see a
I young man cut down in the mornling
of manhood, while he means
I much to so many, our hearts are
j troubled and we shudder to realize
I 'tis true. The only comfort is found
in the realization that he is at rest
land can meet his loved ones where
nnrtines come no more. We can't
understand why he was taken, yet
we must bow humbly to the will of
Htm who doeth all things well.
Van was born March 11, 1899, in
Warren county. He was married
to Miss Crichton Alston Thorne on
February 6, 1921. To them were
born two children, Jean and Van
i Jr., who with his parents, brothers,
Henry, Boyd and William, and sis
IE WARREN RECOR]
ter, Mrs. W. T. Burton, are left to
lament his untimely death.
Van commanded many friends in
every walk of life. He was always
ready to lend a 'helping hand' to
anyone, any time. Even the colored
people on the plantation bowed
their heads and were sad when they
knew "Captain Van" would be with
them no more. Especially faithful
until the last was "Jeams," James
Rodwell, who saved his life when
he was a little fellow, then stayed
with him through his last illness.
The funeral services were held
from the home. His pastor, Rev. h.
C. Brothers, officiated. Interment
took place at the Warrenton cemetery.
Pallbearers were Frederick
Williams, Alpheus Jones, R. B. Boyd
William Boyce, Frank Gibbs, Hunter
Pinnell. Both services were attended
by a large concourse of sorrowing
friends and relatives. Floral
offerings were handsome and profuse,
sweetest tributes of esteem to
his memory and tokens of sympa
thy to the loved ones.
"One precious to our hearts has
gone,
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in our home
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given,
And tho* on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in heaven."
The thousand Mimosa trees
panted along the highway out of
Morganton three years ago were
pruned recently under the direction
of the Burke County farm agent.

Tells How Relief
Agencies Gave Man
New Start In Life
I
Washington, May 17.?Cecil Allen
of Jasper county, Missouri, with a
wife and ten small children, found
the road to rehabilitation on a
farm which the local relief administration
rented for them at $2 a
month, and now the Federal relief
administration is pointing to them
as an example that it hopes will be
multiplied some hundred thousand
times in other States.
The oldest Allen child is now 15.
The tenth child was about to be
born, and the family was being
evicted from their home in Joplin,
a year ago, when the relief office
found them. To cut off their last
source of healthful food, the family
cow had gone dry for lack of
fodder.
Two dollars a month from the relief
administration persuaded the
owner of a 40-acre tract to let Allen
work the land, but there' was no
house. Three tents were put up by
the relief workers, one of them witn
board walls and floor. With a team
loaned by his brother, Allen worked
the tillable portions of the land in
garden truck and corn. After feeding
50 chickens which the relief administration
provided, he had more
than enough corn for his cow, and
managed for a second one on credit.
A second brother loaned him two
pigs who fattened on the remainder
of the corn. Mrs. Allen canned 500
quarts of garden produce.
The three tents were replaced by

The case is one of a number reported
to Mrs. Ellen S. Woodard,
Director of Women's Work in the
FERA, by Mrs. Charley Tidd Cole,
Director of Women's Work for the
Missouri Relief Administration.
"There are hundreds of thousands
of farm families who need a
lift more or less like the Allen's received,"
Mrs. Woodward said. "Each
case may need different treatment.
Our instructions are to get the job
done, whatever it takes, within the
limits of our financial resources."
When Lee D'Aubion of Joplin unloaded
two and a half barrels of
cucumber pickles at the warehouse
of the local relief administration In
Joplin not long ago, it was in repayment
of seed and groceries
which had enabled D'Aubion to
make those pickles. On top of paying
his obligation to the relief ad
ministration, he also paid part or
the interest on his farm mortgage
and all of the back taxes that had
been delinquent for several years,
according to the report made by
Mrs. Cole, who quoted the case as
one of a number exemplifying the
various means in which destitute
families may make repayment after
they have been helped to become
self-sustaining, and thereby removed
from the relief load.
During the winter of 1933, groceries
were furnished D'Aubion, for
himself, his wife and two small
children, but now they are supplied
with canned and dried food
of their own production, and with
feed for their team and their cow.
Out of the $13.50 a week which
D'Aubion was paid on a CWA job,
they saved $10 a week.
